Talk:WordPress MU
From DreamHost
Greets:
I've rewritten the article as best as I could. Please note that a good read of the install instructions as well as a decent comprehension of what they're doing will solve most folks issues with the software
Regards, -drmike
I'm trying to figure out if I can have, with one software install, one domain per site. The closest I came to is:
Unfortunately DreamHost doesn’t support WordPress MU’s subdomains by default yet (you can always send them an email), but we can still get away with subfolders, which is more than good enough for a test.

It might also be good to specify at what scale (how many Wordpress non-MU installs) does the MU edition becomes a time-saver. 5? 10? 100?

Someone just posted a tech support ticket on this one - I can't see anyway that the subdomains will work without a private IP address, I'll figure it out tonight and modify the wiki accordingly if needed.

I started to fill the request for wildcard DNS, and stopped when I was told I had to subscribe to Dreamhost PS as well to get this - anyone confirm this is true, or are DH just trying to trick me into paying for a service I don't really want/need?
If it's true - I'll modify the instructions to reflect it, as I'm sure i'm nto teh only one to be causght out by this. i even bought a doamin specifically for using with Wordpress MU. I just can't justify paying at least $15 a month for it though. i can get a full VPS for less than that!

domain registration
would dreamhost be the one handeling the domain registration, or can it be handled by someone else (godaddy.com, gandi.net, ect?
Wrong place for support
This really isn't the place for WPMu support. Please use the WPMu support forums at the url listed in the article. Paying attention to the debugging page and making sure that you've done all of the steps in the readme file as well as this article is a plus. --Drmike 21:08, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
